Rewards for daily tasks are increased by 25%

Special tasks purchase cost is lowered by 25%

Special task trophies will have 25,000 SL reward instead of 5,000

Special tasks are now available starting from rank 3

New rewards are effective only for the new tasks that players receive after these changes

Q: Will my warbonds expire in the next month?: No, they will not expire at all.

Q:Why have you replaced difficult tasks with Special tasks?: Special tasks were introduced so that you will have more options in how to complete tasks. Thus you may complete several tasks in one day or alternatively - extend one task over a few days.

Q: Why are Special tasks only available from level 4?: Previously difficult tasks became available only from rank 4 also, but we considered your suggestions and lowered rank requirement of the Special tasks to rank 3.

Q: Will we keep the shop level and medals after the end of a month?: No, every month new shop and medals should be earned from the beginning.

Q: How much time do I have to upgrade the shop?: You have one month to upgrade your shop, after that the progress halts and you have 1 more week to earn more warbonds and spend them in the upgraded shop - during this week you will have items from both shops available and you can choose whether you want to earn some more warbonds and use them for the upgraded shop, or keep them and start upgrading the new shop. However this time the shop upgrade is available from September 25th to October 31st - more than one month.

Q: I got a Special task but didn’t manage to complete it before the end of the month. Will it expire?: No the tasks will remain active and once you complete it you will earn a medal for the new shop.

Q: Will Special tasks count for the shop progress?: No, they won’t. Only daily tasks count for the shop upgrade. Special tasks give you a battle trophy and a medal that allows you to get premium items from the shop.

The Japanese Kawasaki Ki-100 was the most recent development of the Ki-61 line of military fighters. Its twin brother - the Ki-100-II was further development attempt to introduce high-altitude interceptor equipped with a supercharger capable of intercepting enemy bombers at a great altitude. Based on the series-produced Ki-100-Ib, by August 1945 three Ki-100-IIs were built with turbochargers and a methanol injection system for WEP. These were the most modern aircraft of their type. Because of the end of the war, these planes did not go into large-scale series production.

The German take on the multi-turret layout, the Neubaufahrzeug packs more of a punch than its British counterpart, with a combined 75mm and a coxal 37mm mounted within its primary turret as well as two machine gun turrets, mounted front and rear. This German multi-turret terror is a classic example of German efficiency and superb engineering!

Battle tasks: These individual tasks bring variety to your gameplay and prevent situations where all the players in a battle try to complete one specific task, effectively ignoring mission objectives that are needed for a victory. They are available for players that have reached the 3rd rank of any nation. On completion, players will receive Silver Lions, and Warbonds - a special in-game currency with their own specific shop, where you can purchase many different items.

You know you have INFINITE amount of time to collect these Warbonds? Simply playing the game you're likely to amass a large sum of Warbonds. Take the challenge (Which never decays) to earn the markers for a premium, you'll be able to get them! Maybe not this week's, but subsequent ones.

Just saw it, you guys made it worse... Sorry Gaijin what is this now.. and the Emblem is the wrong one.. in WT its three little green rats not this British Flag whatever. I have to buy 12x for 40 Warbonds Medals + 3600 War Bonds and the first Medal Task is to destroy 70 Planes at Rank IV-V.. congrats and not even a Bonus for RB like 3x.. that is insane man

Do not forget you have to upgrade your shop to level 5 which is... again, how many medals? Oh, yeah, FORTY tasks required :D
12 special tasks a month - so you can start earning for lvl 5 shop in 5 to 6 months XD

New system is a real joke, you have to Buy 12 medals and achieve the special task each medal gives you, first one i took needs 100 planes killed... so lets say 12x the same task: 1200 planes to shoot down + 3200 warbonds to get a vehicle... And you call that improvement? That's the worst nerf ever made since the Dora weight...

Yes, the new clarifications on this (28.09 update) exposes this. Sure War bonds no longer resets, but now there is a shop level and medals that do. Income have also been lowered to 120 bonds per day, while vehicles have been made 12x40 (480) bonds more expensive because you have to buy medals too. So a 3200 bond vehicle now costs 3680 bonds and that takes 31 days to earn. Previously you could earn a vehicle in 23 days. And since not every month have 31 days, some months it's impossible.

Yo Stona_WT. How about commenting on people, who are asking relevant questions. Not those putting irelevant statements on " NB_FZ is a great vehicle" or "Can we get info on ?" WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD THIS WARBOND SHOP IS!

I officially gave up on warbonds. These special tasks are ridiculously difficult. 7 wins 90% activity (if i miss a second of acvity to make a tactical play then i get 89% then i dont get anything) OR 180 ground units AB, OR 4 best squads RB, 80 attack ground kills RB, 80 criticals AB, ETC ETC). Forget it.

kingman18, Absolutely Correct ! People who think this will be easier because you can carryover 3600 warbonds obviously never played Warbonds before & don't understand this new system with Rank system & Medals & Special Tasks! IT DOESN"T make it easier AT ALL !!! People, you still need to play for a minumum of 20 days to get to rank 5 for each month and complete the 2 daily tasks even with your 3600 warbonds in the bank to get premium item! If you can do that -then you could have completed ...

This system really doesn't change anything. In fact now you have to purchase 12 x 40 war bonds medals before you can even attempt to start collecting the war bonds required for the vehicle you want for this month. The never ending warbonds don't change much because the store changes in the end of every month.
I didn't think that "upgrading" the item store by doing battle tasks would reward the same T1 / T2 premiums that we could get before with less effort rather than T4/ T3 Premiums.

1.) Actually the war bonds not expiring DOES make it easier for more casual players to obtain a premium vehicle providing a nice experience in starting a new Faction, so thanks for the improvement!
2.) More hardcore players may feel discouraged as they had hopes of REALLY upgrading the shop to get T3/T4 premiums for ALOT of work.
3.) A great addition to the shop would be: "1 Month of Premium Time" for 12 medals + 3K warbonds!
Its nice to see development so thank you once again :)!

Xarizma, NO IT DOES NOT! SINCE ITS RANK IV OR HIGHER TASKS! Meaning that casuals and people who prefer to play mid-low ranks can't get shit. And for what , the worst premiums in the game and the grind is still 3000+ for stuff like the freaking independent. Remove special task requirement.

How is this an improvement, lol? Before, I could at least realistically get two test drives just by playing for fun without worrying about these joyless tasks but now I need almost twice the amount of bonds… I'm also bewildered by your choice to make the system unnecessarily complicated by introducing the shop level and medals. In essence, you've just made me completely ignore the Warbond Shop because it's absolutely not worth it.

Now your warbonds will not disappear, so you can collect more of them and at the end of the day, unlock better prizes (instead of test drive, you will be able to get premium vehicle not for 24h, but for life ;) ).
